Core Staff

Barefoot Research and Evaluation is made up of two core staff members and several highly qualified associates.
 

Christopher Hartworth

 

Christopher Hartworth has a social science doctorate and has been working in research and evaluation for almost 20 years. He started his career working in developing countries and was involved in poverty alleviation programmes across Africa. In the late 1990s, Christopher worked on the evaluations of humanitarian responses to disasters, e.g. the Rwandan Genocide and Kosovo. In 2000, Christopher returned to the UK and began research and development work with disadvantaged communities in the North East. Most recently he has completed significant work around community safety and criminal justice. Christopher has published widely and believes that peer review is essential for good research and development and for service delivery.
